Rarotonga, the capital of our friendly little corner of the Pacific, is a very small island at only 32 kms around the outer perimeter. It takes approximately 40 minutes to drive around the island by car or motor scooter, which means all services and amenities on the island are just 20 minutes from wherever you are.
There are only 16,000 of us living in the Cook Islands. 10,000 live on Rarotonga with the rest living on 12 of our 15 islands. We are Polynesian, naturally friendly and openly welcome visitors to our shores like we have been doing for the past millennium or two. Everyone speaks English as well as the native Polynesian language.
Rarotonga is the transport hub of the Cook Islands with frequent connections from New Zealand, Australia, Tahiti, North America (via Los Angeles) and South America (via Tahiti or Auckland).

March 1997
A disturbing report on how islanders found themself struggling for survival after foreigners bought their country's main assets.
After years of borrowing, the government found itself with debts beyond its capacity.Fed up with bankrolling its former colony, New Zealand finally pulled the economic plug. Cook Islands' Prime Minister, Sir Geoffrey Henry denies embezzlement after the collapse of the Sheraton Hotel project, doubling the national debt. To recoup finance, the government laid off state workers and offloaded its most saleable assets to the highest bidders, invariably outsiders. Local businessman Norm Mitchell complains that he was never even given a chance to buy the AitutakiHotel. Intimidated by the authorities, his business partners are too frightened to appear before the camera. After losing his state job, Matunga turned to carving ukuleles for tourists. But when this failed to bring in enough money he decided to emigrate to Australia. But not all islanders feel the same: after 25 years in a government office, Nani feels liberated by her new job as tourist guide. But the rest of the population struggles to survive without the state wage which was once taken for granted.

Come explore and share with us the pleasures of the Cook Islands on your next Cook Islands Exploration

The Cook Islands' defence and foreign affairs are the responsibility of New Zealand, but they are exercised in consultation with the Cook Islands. In recent times, the Cook Islands have adopted an increasingly independent foreign policy. Although Cook Islanders are citizens of New Zealand, they have the status of Cook Islands nationals, which is not given to other New Zealand citizens.

The Cook Islands' main population centres are on the island of Rarotonga (10,572 in 2011), where there is an international airport. There is a larger population of Cook Islanders in New Zealand, particularly the North Island. In the 2006 census, 58,008 self-identified as being of ethnic Cook Islands Māori descent.

An island may be described as such despite the presence of an artificial land bridge, for example Singapore and its causeway, or the various Dutch delta islands, such as IJsselmonde. Some places may even retain "island" in their names for historical reasons after being connected to a larger landmass by a wide land bridge, such as Coney Island or Coronado Island. Conversely, when a piece of land is separated from the mainland by a man-made canal, for example the Peloponnese by the Corinth Canal, it is generally not considered an island.

There are two main types of islands: continental islands and oceanic islands. There are also artificial islands.

Miss Cook Islands

Miss Cook Islands is the biggest national beauty pageant for women in the Islands. The pageant was established in 1979 and is the official national pageant to select a representative to represent the Cook Islands at International pageants.

History

The Miss Cook Islands pageant started in 1979 and usually held once every two years. The pageant is framed as a tourist attraction, although few tourists attended. The main sponsors at the pageant are connected to the tourist industry. The Miss Cook Islands pageant was previously categorized in three sections, such as Swimwear Competition, Evening Gown Competition and Talent Show. Before selecting the winner, the pageant will also select some important special awards for Miss Pre-Pageant Interview, Miss Congeniality, Miss Photogenic, Miss Swimwear, Miss Deportment, Miss Talent, Miss Personality and Miss Evening Gown & Stage Interview. Miss Cook Islands 2015 and Miss Aitutaki 2015, Felicia George, was crowned on Saturday 12 September 2015 at the National Auditorium.

The Cook Islands Looks Ahead (1965)

On 4 August 1965 the Cook Islands achieved self-government from New Zealand. As nzhistory.net notes, New Zealand’s formal ties with the Cook Islands began as a result of a petition it had induced some local chiefs to present. In 1901 the Federal Parliament of the Cooks was abolished. The islands were now governed by a Resident Commissioner sent to Rarotonga by the New Zealand government. This ended after the Legislative Assembly declared its intention to achieve internal self-government in 1962, leading to the New Zealand’s Cook Islands Constitution Act1964.
The films shown here, Cook Islands Looks Ahead, was produced by the National Film Unit and shows a survey of Cook Islands preparations in 1965 for internal self-government. Developments in industry, education and health services are shown too. There is also footage of the opening of the first Assembly under a new Constitution and the following celebrations.
The NationalFilmUnit was established to publicise New Zealand's participation and achievements during the Second World War. After 1945 the Film Unit expanded from producing weekly newsreels to making documentaries and films to the order of Government Departments. During its existence the Film Unit produced films for national organisations as well as many films on its own initiative. The private film industry in New Zealand relied heavily on the National Film Unit's extensive film processing facilities.

This week we learned the in's and out's of living the remote island life. They say that cruising is really just doing boat projects in beautiful places and that sure is the truth. While trying to hunt down outboard engine parts, we got to see how Aitutaki's 2000 inhabitants supply their island, from apples to SUVs, and even witnessed a WHALE SHOW right from our cockpit!

March 1997
A disturbing report on how islanders found themself struggling for survival after foreigners bought their country's main assets.
After years of borrowing, the government found itself with debts beyond its capacity.Fed up with bankrolling its former colony, New Zealand finally pulled the economic plug. Cook Islands' Prime Minister, Sir Geoffrey Henry denies embezzlement after the collapse of the Sheraton Hotel project, doubling the national debt. To recoup finance, the government laid off state workers and offloaded its most saleable assets to the highest bidders, invariably outsiders. Local businessman Norm Mitchell complains that he was never even given a chance to buy the AitutakiHotel. Intimidated by the authorities, his business partners are too frightened to appear before the camera. After losing his state job, Matunga turned to carving ukuleles for tourists. But when this failed to bring in enough money he decided to emigrate to Australia. But not all islanders feel the same: after 25 years in a government office, Nani feels liberated by her new job as tourist guide. But the rest of the population struggles to survive without the state wage which was once taken for granted.

On 4 August 1965 the Cook Islands achieved self-government from New Zealand. As nzhistory.net notes, New Zealand’s formal ties with the Cook Islands began as a result of a petition it had induced some local chiefs to present. In 1901 the Federal Parliament of the Cooks was abolished. The islands were now governed by a Resident Commissioner sent to Rarotonga by the New Zealand government. This ended after the Legislative Assembly declared its intention to achieve internal self-government in 1962, leading to the New Zealand’s Cook Islands Constitution Act1964.
The films shown here, Cook Islands Looks Ahead, was produced by the National Film Unit and shows a survey of Cook Islands preparations in 1965 for internal self-government. Developments in industry, education and health services are shown too. There is also footage of the opening of the first Assembly under a new Constitution and the following celebrations.
The NationalFilmUnit was established to publicise New Zealand's participation and achievements during the Second World War. After 1945 the Film Unit expanded from producing weekly newsreels to making documentaries and films to the order of Government Departments. During its existence the Film Unit produced films for national organisations as well as many films on its own initiative. The private film industry in New Zealand relied heavily on the National Film Unit's extensive film processing facilities.

This week we learned the in's and out's of living the remote island life. They say that cruising is really just doing boat projects in beautiful places and that sure is the truth. While trying to hunt down outboard engine parts, we got to see how Aitutaki's 2000 inhabitants supply their island, from apples to SUVs, and even witnessed a WHALE SHOW right from our cockpit!
Enjoy!

AITUTAKI, COOK ISLANDS

Aitutaki, Cook Islands: An underwater playground.
Aitutaki is the the South Pacific's hidden gem. A lagoon so blue, vivid and clear, lined with coconut palms, it truly has to be seen to be believed! Enjoy my recount of my recent visit to Aitutaki and The Cook Islands! All footage has been captured by myself and Meaghan Smith on our recent island adventure (June 2015).
Whilst researching travel advice and tips for The Cook Islands, I found it difficult to find videos and footage on what best embodied The Cook Islands, and in particular, Aitutaki as a whole. I endeavoured to provide footage and travel vlogs/recounts of my trip so that others could enjoy and also benefit from it! Let me know if this video has helped you in anyway.

How To Travel The COOK ISLANDS

In today's video I'm showing you how to travel the cook Islands from Rarotonga to Aitutaki here is (almost) everything you need to know!
6 DAYS IN THE COOK ISLANDS: https://youtu.be/VBrTWd2Rx4w
》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》
Flight we used: Direct flight from LAX to Rarotonga (specific dates have good flight deals we got ours for half off the usual amount, I usually use Google flights to search for the cheapest prices)
Air Rarotonga is the only airline to go between Rarotonga and Aitutaki and will cost you around $500NZD ( a lil pricy but worth it)
VakaCruise: https://goo.gl/qFXYPG
We stayed at the cheapest place we could find in Aitutaki and the LittlePolynesian Resort in Rarotonga: https://goo.gl/wPQQbx

COOK ISLANDS PART 2 // AITUTAKI

Our dream island! For those who don't know, this island is so special to us. This is our 2nd (mine) and 3rd (Clay's) time returning to Aitutaki and its beautiful blue lagoon.
The reason it is so special apart from being just incredibly beautiful is that Clay and I conceived little Lexington there. While we didn't have the best run with weather while were there and as I have talked about previously with you guys, it was very different traveling with Lex, we made the most of it and we will truly treasure these memories forever.
Hope you LOVE this Vlog guys! xx

You could easily drive around this sparkling island in half an hour if you hurry, but that’s the charm of the Cook Islands….. no one does.
It has been almost 250 years since Captain Cook became the first European to discover these islands and yet there is a gentle timelessness that endures here.

In today's video I'm showing you how to travel the cook Islands from Rarotonga to Aitutaki here is (almost) everything you need to know!
6 DAYS IN THE COOK ISLANDS: https://youtu.be/VBrTWd2Rx4w
》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》
Flight we used: Direct flight from LAX to Rarotonga (specific dates have good flight deals we got ours for half off the usual amount, I usually use Google flights to search for the cheapest prices)
Air Rarotonga is the only airline to go between Rarotonga and Aitutaki and will cost you around $500NZD ( a lil pricy but worth it)
VakaCruise: https://goo.gl/qFXYPG
We stayed at the cheapest place we could find in Aitutaki and the LittlePolynesian Resort in Rarotonga: https://goo.gl/wPQQbx

After a great on the water we decided to get back out on to the water to watch the sun set in to the Pacific Ocean. We joined SailRarotonga for their sunset cruise along the island. They provided the nibbles and sailing knowhow and we just brought our wine and beer and relax in paradise with the breeze blowing through our hair as we sailed in to the sunset. The perfect end to a fun day.

SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/c/VicStefanu - Let's go to beautiful Rarotonga which is the most populous island of the Cook Islands, with a population of 10,572, out of the country's total resident population of 14,974. Captain John Dibbs, master of the colonial brig Endeavour, is credited as the European discoverer on 25 August 1823, while transporting the missionary Rev.John Williams.
The volcanic island of Rarotonga stands over 14,750 feet (4,500 meters) above the ocean floor. It is 32 km (20 miles) in circumference and has an area of 67.19 km2 (26 square miles). At a depth of 4,000 m (13,000 ft) the volcano is nearly 50 km (31 miles) in diameter. Te Manga, at 658 m (2,140 ft) above sea level, is the highest peak on the island.
The island is surrounded by a lagoon, which often extends more than a hundred metres to the reef, then slopes steeply to deep water. The reef fronts the shore to the north of the island, making the lagoon there unsuitable for swimming and water sports, but to the south east, particularly around Muri, the lagoon is at its widest and deepest. This part of the island is the most popular with tourists for swimming, snorkelling and boating. Agricultural terraces, flats and swamps surround the central mountain area

Survivor Cook Islands, may have exposed these beautiful islands to you, so if you are researching this place a holiday destination these travel videos will give you a good insight as to what you can get up to.
We joined Seafari Fishing Charters for a half day fishing adventure off the coast of Rarotonga. As the boat cruises out to the deeper water drop off the view of the island is spectacular. Being a volcanic island we didn't have to go far as it drops off to deep water fairly close to shore.
﻿
It is a trolling set up as it was the large fish we were catching and it wasn't too long before we had our first bite. Everyone on board got to have a go bringing in the fish and a great thing to see was that even those who weren't very experienced with fishing had the chance to bring in a fish with the help and advice of the crew.

Survivor Cook Islands, may have exposed these beautiful islands to you, so if you are researching this place a holiday destination these travel videos will give you a good insight as to what you can get up to.
If getting into the water is not quite your thing then you can still experience the underwater world onboard the Reef Sub, nicknamed the Yellow Submarine. The skipper gives you a commentary about the history of the island and marine life as Yellow Submarine takes you out to the ship wreck. He feeds the big pelagic fish surrounding the boat so you get a close view from the lower viewing deck. They come right up to the window and you almost feel like you are in the water with them.

Our dream island! For those who don't know, this island is so special to us. This is our 2nd (mine) and 3rd (Clay's) time returning to Aitutaki and its beautiful blue lagoon.
The reason it is so special apart from being just incredibly beautiful is that Clay and I conceived little Lexington there. While we didn't have the best run with weather while were there and as I have talked about previously with you guys, it was very different traveling with Lex, we made the most of it and we will truly treasure these memories forever.
Hope you LOVE this Vlog guys! xx

6 DAYS IN THE COOK ISLANDS

This past week I got to play around with my new Samsung Galaxy Note8 and 'm seriously loving all the features of this phone with the huge Infinity Display, and the amazing camera quality. Plus with it being water resistant, I don't have to worry about my clumsy self dropping it in the pool. Huge thank you to Samsung for sponsoring this video!

Rarotonga, Cook Islands

Rarotonga, the capital of our friendly little corner of the Pacific, is a very small island at only 32 kms around the outer perimeter. It takes approximately 40 minutes to drive around the island by car or motor scooter, which means all services and amenities on the island are just 20 minutes from wherever you are.
There are only 16,000 of us living in the Cook Islands. 10,000 live on Rarotonga with the rest living on 12 of our 15 islands. We are Polynesian, naturally friendly and openly welcome visitors to our shores like we have been doing for the past millennium or two. Everyone speaks English as well as the native Polynesian language.
Rarotonga is the transport hub of the Cook Islands with frequent connections from New Zealand, Australia, Tahiti, North America (via Los Angeles) and South America (via Tahiti or Auckland).

Life in the Cook Islands with Haumea, 4y.o. - part 2 Penrhyn and Atiu

We live in the Cook Islands. Haumea,4, was born here and spends a bigger part of the year on the island of Rarotonga where she goes to preschool. We also travel a lot both in the Cook islands as well as abroad. This is a collection of our photos and videos showing life on the islands of Penrhyn (Cook Islands, Northern group) and Atiu (Southern Cook Islands) as seen through the eyes of our little daughter

Heaven On Earth - Cook Islands

March 1997
A disturbing report on how islanders found themself struggling for survival after foreigners bought their country's main assets.
After years of borrowing, the government found itself with debts beyond its capacity.Fed up with bankrolling its former colony, New Zealand finally pulled the economic plug. Cook Islands' Prime Minister, Sir Geoffrey Henry denies embezzlement after the collapse of the Sheraton Hotel project, doubling the national debt. To recoup finance, the government laid off state workers and offloaded its most saleable assets to the highest bidders, invariably outsiders. Local businessman Norm Mitchell complains that he was never even given a chance to buy the AitutakiHotel. Intimidated by the authorities, his business partners are too frightened to appear before the camera. After losing his state job, Matunga turned to carving ukuleles for tourists. But when this failed to bring in enough money he decided to emigrate to Australia. But not all islanders feel the same: after 25 years in a government office, Nani feels liberated by her new job as tourist guide. But the rest of the population struggles to survive without the state wage which was once taken for granted.

Cook Islands - Live differently

Welcome to the secret of the Pacific. Breathe in the fresh pure air. Wade into the cool, calm, blue lagoons.

Cook Islands Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

https://www.expedia.com/Cook-Islands.d41.Destination-Travel-Guides
Situated at the very centre of Polynesia, the Cook Islands is an archipelago nation comprised of 15 islands. It is spread across an area in the South Pacific, three times the size of Texas..
Supremely beautiful, with pristine white sands fringed by coconut palms, the Cook Islands possess a castaway island magic and yet is only a four hour flight from New Zealand.
According to legend, these tiny islands, dotted amongst the vast ocean, were discovered thousands of years ago by the very finest Polynesian seafarers. Guided by the stars and using other sophisticated navigation techniques, they landed their legendary double hulled Vakas and set about creating paradise.
It is a rhythm you’ll feel as soon as you touch down in Raratonga, the largest island in the group.
You could easily drive around this sparkling island in half an hour if you hurry, but that’s the charm of the Cook Islands….. no one does.
It has been almost 250 years since Captain Cook became the first European to discover these islands and yet there is a gentle timelessness that endures here.
Come and discover the generous rhythm and warm hospitality of the Cook Islands for yourself.

AITUTAKI, COOK ISLANDS

Aitutaki, Cook Islands: An underwater playground.
Aitutaki is the the South Pacific's hidden gem. A lagoon so blue, vivid and clear, lined with coconut palms, it truly has to be seen to be believed! Enjoy my recount of my recent visit to Aitutaki and The Cook Islands! All footage has been captured by myself and Meaghan Smith on our recent island adventure (June 2015).
Whilst researching travel advice and tips for The Cook Islands, I found it difficult to find videos and footage on what best embodied The Cook Islands, and in particular, Aitutaki as a whole. I endeavoured to provide footage and travel vlogs/recounts of my trip so that others could enjoy and also benefit from it! Let me know if this video has helped you in anyway. Check out my other travel vlogs for detailed travel information to The Cook Islands.

6 DAYS IN THE COOK ISLANDS: https://youtu.be/VBrTWd2Rx4w
》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》
Flight we used: Direct flight from LAX to Rarotonga (specific dates have good flight deals we got ours for half off the usual amount, I usually use Google flights to search for the cheapest prices)
Air Rarotonga is the only airline to go between Rarotonga and Aitutaki and will cost you around $500NZD ( a lil pricy but worth it)

We stayed at the cheapest place we could find in Aitutaki and the LittlePolynesian Resort in Rarotonga: https://goo.gl/wPQQbx

After a great on the water we decided to get back out on to the water to watch the sun set in to the Pacific Ocean. We joined SailRarotonga for their sunset cruise along the island. They provided the nibbles and sailing knowhow and we just brought our wine and beer and relax in paradise with the breeze blowing through our hair as we sailed in to the sunset. The perfect end to a fun day.

COOK ISLANDS, what to see in the spectacular island of RAROTONGA

SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/c/VicStefanu - Let's go to beautiful Rarotonga which is the most populous island of the Cook Islands, with a population of 10,572, out of the country's total resident population of 14,974. Captain John Dibbs, master of the colonial brig Endeavour, is credited as the European discoverer on 25 August 1823, while transporting the missionary Rev.John Williams.
The volcanic island of Rarotonga stands over 14,750 feet (4,500 meters) above the ocean floor. It is 32 km (20 miles) in circumference and has an area of 67.19 km2 (26 square miles). At a depth of 4,000 m (13,000 ft) the volcano is nearly 50 km (31 miles) in diameter. Te Manga, at 658 m (2,140 ft) above sea level, is the highest peak on the island.
The island is surrounded by a lagoon, which often extends more than a hundred metres to the reef, then slopes steeply to deep water. The reef fronts the shore to the north of the island, making the lagoon there unsuitable for swimming and water sports, but to the south east, particularly around Muri, the lagoon is at its widest and deepest. This part of the island is the most popular with tourists for swimming, snorkelling and boating. Agricultural terraces, flats and swamps surround the central mountain area
